Images of a lost city hidden in the jungle remind me of The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, and the lovely Disney movie.

Jungles are amazing. I mean, we have forests in Vermont but nothing you could lose an entire city in (particularly not with the amount of deer hunters roaming through them every fall).
